Stretford Plants
Economical Cleanup of Hydrogen Sulfide
For applications in which the produced hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon product
has a relatively low sulfur content, PPE offers an effective, low cost
method to remove the sulfur compounds from hydrocarbons. The process
uses reduction-oxidation (redox) chemistry to oxidize hydrogen sulfide into
elemental sulfur using an alkaline solution containing vanadium as an oxygen
carrier.
PPE has designed and built hydrogen sulfide removal plants based on the
Stretford Process that are operating successfully today.
